  Sheppard played two characters in the science fiction series "Babylon 5": Soul Hunter in the episode of the same name and Narn war leader G'Sten, the uncle of the protagonist G'Kar, in the episode "The Long Twilight Struggle." The latter role was later assumed by Andreas Katsulas.

  Sheppard and his son, Mark Sheppard, starred together in the "NCIS" episode "Broken Bird," with William portraying Mark's character as an adult.
